Please see email below from Avrum Rosensweig regarding his recent interview with Eli Rubenstein on his newly launched podcast: Hat Radio.

Episode 5 hat radio! Interview with Eli Rubenstein, National Director of March of the Living and spiritual leader at Congregation Habonim. He's a grand storyteller and this interview is Eli answering pointed questions in a most poetic way. He’s my dear friend and I think you’ll enjoy and learn so much from this schmooze between us (in Eli’s living room).

Hat Radio! The show that schmoozes!

Hat Radio is home to intimate and magical interviews about life’s many shared experiences, hosted and produced by highly curious veteran radio personality, Avrum Rosensweig.
